Example of KONTC
The full circle is approached beginning at the circle center point. The direction and curvature
radius of the approach circle at the block end point are identical to the values of the next
circle. Infeed takes place in the Z direction in both approach/retraction blocks
simultaneously. The adjacent diagram shows the vertical projection of the path.
The associated NC program segment is as follows:
$TC_DP1[1.1]= 121 ;Milling tool
$TC_DP6[1.1]=10 ;Radius 10 mm
